    Feck it anyway.

    Announcement on their web site reads

    2005 - 2012
    This is the end of the line my friends. The decision does not come easy, but we've decided to voluntarily shut down. We've been fighting for years for your right to communicate, but it's time to move on. It's been an experience of a lifetime, we wish you all the best!



    Anybody have any good alternatives that don't require you to register, just like btjunkie?

    Was really enjoying movie night at home watching the latest releases. No way are Sky gonna get €60 per month from me.

    What's wrong with The Pirate Bay when you want to locate non-copyrighted materials to legally download?

    Never a big user of BTJunkie myself.

    Just use one of the other numerous BT indexers out there to find and download your, er, public domain films and linux distros. BTJ was losing it towards the end anyway.

    That's a real shame and now I'm worried that's it's just a taste of things to come.
    I used it myself.

    So to summarise:

    Ian Brown lost his drugs and has gone on a gun rampage in a British Telecoms office so it BT had to close down?

    Wow!
